Local Artist Check: Miracle [Rap]


A Snapbacks and backpacks artist - one for the locals.

You Have probally heard of this young and upcoming rapper who goes by the name of "Miracle" or "Miracle the boy wonder".
No hiltop hood, but hes' also no "Fake Yank" rapper either...Miracle is just.... real.

Born in Ghana, raised in Melbourne and now residing in Sydney. Samson Andah (Miracle) is now ready to take the world by storm.
As a kid, Miracle and his friends used to watch Rap and Hip-Hop music videos and tried to imitate their favourite rappers - where he created major viral fame from his school project video for "Better dayz". Now, Miracle is creating his own vibe in the new wave of hip-hop, Last year he performed at Urban Music festival SupaFest amongst acts such as Snoop Dogg, T-Pain and Nelly. He has now created more fame recording a new mixtape "Before we Meet" released earlier this year. Now Officially re-signing to Sony Music Australia - Miracle is ready to get to work.

I've never been so excited for a Aussie MC. Contrary to common belief, Australia does have some dope MCs with great lyricism - however most of these acts don't have the commercial essence to bring them out of the underground or across the seas. The ones that do, seem to be imitating the US rappers too much with their accent, metaphors and style. However with this new wave of hip-hop blowing over to Australia, Miracle is truly a 'Miracle'. His lyrics feel unforced - laidback, relavant and just 'real'. Not rapping about getting rich, rather rapping for the heck of it.

Just check out his video for "Koolin" if you don't believe me. Just kickin' it by the pool with mates just like a regular Aussie kid. Summer Jam.



Below is his new track "Top Bloke" where he says "Australia on his back and Africa on his chest" - carrying aus hip-hop while reprenting Africa. Hopefully accross the seas - but for now, Australia should get on his back. Iller.



Not Enough to get you on the Miracle train? - well check out his youtube channel.
